In a dramatic turn of events, police successfully arrested Saif, the primary suspect in the murder of a readymade garment trader, Anil Gupta. Gupta was tragically found with his throat slit in the Chiluatal area earlier this week.
The arrest unfolded during routine police patrolling when Saif attempted to flee, opening fire on officers. The police responded in self-defense, injuring Saif with a leg shot, leading to his capture and subsequent hospitalization where he remains stable.
A follow-up investigation uncovered a cache of evidence, including a pistol, cartridges, a gold chain, and a motorcycle tied to the crime. Police suspect Saif's financial struggles and mounting debts as the motives behind this heinous act.
